Check out the youtube video that the Toronto Police posted. It shows you what they have to go through to become an officer. Do you think this is enough? Is there re-testing every year? I think that there should be so that they are forced to keep their fitness levels in check. This would be a good idea since their job is physically demanded.

One thing that I currently should have in my trainer tool kit is the Lebert Stretch Straps. Especially now that they are in pink! I definitely need to add these to my toolbox! Marc is a great friend and even helped me on my journey to get to the Maccabiah Games as a coach!

Check out the stretch straps in pink:

Hey everyone! I only recently found out that a new gym is coming to Toronto in October 2013. Madonna's own Hard Candy Fitness is opening up downtown! I don't know about you but I wan't to work and train here!

According to the website:

"Hard Candy Fitness Toronto will be the brand’s largest club location in North America to date! The brand new, exquisite 42,000 sq. ft. facility is set to open in fall 2013 and is located in College Park at the center of downtown Toronto. The club will be located on the top retail floor of the newly-constructed, 78-story Aura building at College Park. Built by the Canderel real estate development corporation, the building will be the tallest condominium in Canada with stunning views of the cityscape and adjacent three acre park.

This full scale club will exude the brand’s signature modern style and high-end amenities. The club emphasizes unique group fitness programming with studios for everything from cycling and Pilates, to yoga and cardio-dance. Hard Candy Fitness’ proprietary Addicted to Sweat workouts, which were recently released on DVD, will be offered to Toronto club members along with a complete selection of traditional group fitness programs.  "

 

This past weekend I was asked by Reebok to attend the Canadian Launch of Reebok One. The Launch was on the Friday Morning of the three day Canfit Pro Conference. Which was held on the 16,17 and 18th of August at the Toronto Metro Convention Centre. This show is the largest fitness trade and convention show in Canada. This year Jillian Michaels was an attendee and spoke to the crowd during the opening of the show. Many other famous Fitness Personalities were also in attendance. My friend Tommy Europe the face of Canadian fitness was also there and was introduced as the leading Canadian Ambassador for Reebok One.

In anticipation to the launch a few days before I created my own Reebok One Page. It can be found at http://www.reebok.com/trainitright not know exactly what I was creating. The whole set up process was really easy. Except for some reason the province of Ontario does not exist in my menu. So I chose Ohio. Everything else was really smooth and I would compare it to setting up a facebook or a Linkedin account. Quick and easy.

So what is Reebok One? It is a FREE platform that allows you to connect with other fitness professionals from around the globe. It also is a place where your clients or potential clients can see where or when your classes are and what your schedule is like. Reebok One allows people searching for trainers in your area to find you and contact you as well. A few features that the website displays are your; twitter, website, facebook, google +, pintrest, and even your favourite workout playlists.

The platform also allows you to save on reebok purchases and lets you list your favourite reebok workout gear for your clients and followers to view and offers them a discount too. When they purchase from your page it also gives you a commission on the sale. All you have to do is sign up via the site and commission junction.

Reebok One's goal is to enhance the customer fitness experience. To date they have had 13 Launches globally and plan to continue to grow the network. Feel Free to take a look at my page http://www.reebok.com/trainitright and make your own page and follow me! Lets connect!

Excited to get introduced to RockTape next week at Toronto's Canfit pro conference. I've been taping a lot this year since I tore my ACL in September 2012 and even more post op. I  have tried almost every brand and have found to enjoy Rock Tape a lot. Next week I am getting a first hand introduction from Leslie Trotter the President of Rocktape Canada.

Check out the Rocktape commercial below:

Do you have a preferred tape? Comment below and let me know what brand and why?
